Monster Hunter Gathering

"Oh, thank you, Yushiro, for being willing to help me in the future." Tanjiro said this to Yushiro gratefully, leaving Yushiro speechless.

"You... forget it." Yushiro said, "If there are creatures in other worlds that are more terrifying than Muzan, don't come back crying."

"If that's the case, there will be more people who need help." Tanjiro said: "So I decided..."

"I will agree to become a hunter."

Having made up his mind, Tanjiro immediately prepared to go to Nie Chiwu for reply.

As soon as he returned here, Tanjiro saw Nie Chiwu cracking melon seeds and chatting happily with the two women in front of him. It seemed that they had already talked about topics such as taking care of children...

After seeing Tanjiro, Nie Chiwu also confirmed Tanjiro's desire to become a hunter.

"Well then, welcome to the Monster Hunter Gathering... the fifth Hunter!"

Nie Chiwu placed his hand directly on Tanjiro's shoulder: "Let's go! I'll take you to meet the cat lady! And you must remember the hunter's code!"

"set off!"

The moment Nie Chiwu and Tanjiro left the Butterfly House, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.

Tanjiro also found himself in a huge base that was busy.

Countless Felynx were carrying items here, creating a bustling scene.

Tanjiro could also see all kinds of huge monsters flying in the sky in the distance that he had never seen before.

"Welcome to our rally!"

Nie Chiwu turned around and gave Tanjiro a big hug: "Come and have a good look!"

--------------

It took Tanjiro more than ten days to get familiar with this huge gathering.

At the same time, he also accepted the fact that this was a special world and that the hunters here came from various different worlds.

Mr. Joseph comes from a world where there are Pillar Men and vampires who are also afraid of the sun, so he uses that sunlight-like ripple breath.

And Iwaya Naofumi and Kazuma, they talked about traveling to another world, adventure, saving the world and so on...

Tanjiro, who came from the countryside, didn't understand at all.

However, a few of them also took the time to get together and have a brief exchange, so that they could get to know each other better.

Tanjiro also realized that Mr. Iwatani seemed to be being wronged, but he was still taking action to save the world.

Mr. Kazuma is an adventurer with his companions, but once he gets angry, he will run back to the gathering to cry to the cat lady.

Mr. Joseph seems to have a very powerful enemy to defeat. It is said that the enemy is more terrifying than Muzan, so in order to have enough time, Joseph is using the gathering to practice hard.

The Grand Commander seemed to be moving, moving a lot of things in reality to the gathering room, and he also gave Tanjiro a set of physical comics of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"... This made Tanjiro feel shy because he was the protagonist.

After learning about these things, Tanjiro knew that he could not slack off, so while training himself to use hunter weapons, he also continued to help the Felynes in the gathering.

Training, eating cat food, and taking time to return to his own world to do things, Tanjiro felt that his life was very colorful, until not long after...

"There's a new special request, meow!"

Volume: Maze Fan! And Cat Fan!!!

Chapter 66: New Hunter! Laos!!

"What--!!"

After the new mission popped up on the interface, Nie Chiwu rushed out of his room and shouted in a sharp voice: "All hunters! Gather in the cafeteria! We have a new commission to do!!!"

"What! Iwaya Naofumi hasn't come back yet? And what about Kazuma? Kazuma is doing an adventure commission in his own world..." After Nie Chiwu learned about everyone's movements from Felynx, he quickly called out to everyone in the meeting voice: "There's new work! Hurry up and make time for the meeting!"

"Grand Commander."

Tanjiro also ran out of the training ground carrying a huge sword. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he asked Nie Chiwu: "We have a commission, right?"

"That's right! Quickly have the Felynes invite all the hunters to the cafeteria! We're going to have a meeting!" Nie Chiwu said excitedly, clenching his fists. "Let me see what monster we need to deal with next!"

"Then I'll go call Mr. Joseph."

Tanjiro also started running.

On his way to the cafeteria, Nie Chiwu was also checking what the new commission was.

[Subjugation/Repulsion/Capture Request: Demon (Winged Lion)

Completion conditions: Defeat/repel/capture the demon (winged lion) (0/1)

Commission Description: Since ancient times, demons have become greedy due to their appetite. Demons are the "organs" of magic that emerged to understand the language of living beings. Today, demons are obsessed with eating the entire world! Devouring everyone's desire! It's time to show your strength as a hunter!

Reward: Demon series equipment, equipment enhancement enabled

Mission starts: Starts from the first hunter. 】

"Woc! Something big happened! The devil of the maze rice!"

Nie Chiwu cursed as he looked at the commission: "Why did we suddenly encounter such a commission? Is this really the prey that the five of us, the strongest ones, who are just shooting at others with heavy crossbows, should deal with?!"

"That's a demon that's equal to the magic power of this world itself!!!"

Although Nie Chiwu cursed like this, he still took the time to look for information about the maze meal.

About... half an hour later, the five hunters gathered in the dining hall, all with serious expressions on their faces.

"Meow... Would you like some cat food, hunter?" Grandma Cat said kindly.

"Okay... No, Grandma Cat! Now is not the time for us to eat cat food!" Nie Chiwu said sadly: "The monsters this time are really too strong! We can't beat them!"

"So what exactly is this demon?" Tanjiro was a little confused: "Is it a very powerful thing?"

“They feel completely different from the demons back home…” Kazuma complained, “And using the entire world as food is a bit too much!”

"OH MY GOD! I'm not even sure I can deal with Kaz! Why do I have to really start saving the world?" Jotaro also looked terrified.

A voice floated over from the side: "So the winged lion is not a guardian god! But a demon! I thought it was a monster!"

"Alright! We're going to have a serious meeting now."

Nie Chiwu projected the content about the maze meal onto the big screen in the cafeteria, allowing all the hunters present to watch the story of how Laos's team rescued Farin and finally defeated the devil in order to achieve this goal.

The last scene where the winged lion almost took all the lives in the world as food made everyone silent.

"This kind of demon shouldn't have a body of its own, right? Can it really be considered a living being?" Iwatani Naofumi analyzed as calmly as possible. "And it seems to be able to read the desires of others... It's no different from reading minds."

"Let's not talk about that demon for now! Even that crazy magician is pretty powerful!" Qiao grabbed her hair and said, "Why do I always run into guys like this? They either twist their own bodies around or make other people's bodies twist around!"

"Regardless of whether the demon is a living being or not, it's a monster." Nie Chiwu said helplessly: "Shang Wen is right, the other party has a mind-reading ability. Although Laos really got rid of the demon by making a wish..."

"But that was a miracle!" Nie Chiwu slammed the table and shouted, "If something like this were to change even a little bit, I don't know if it could be replicated!"

“That’s right!” Kazuma said timidly, “Anyway, the ending of Labyrinth Rice is a happy one, right? So, if we don’t bother with this commission, Laos will take care of the demon himself and achieve a perfect ending!”

"Thinking about it this way, there's absolutely no need for us to go!" Kazuma tried to convince himself.

"That's right." Naofumi Iwatani also said: "As long as we don't interfere and let Laos and others develop according to the original plot, there shouldn't be any problems..."

"Right! As long as Team Laos isn't affected by us..." Nie Chiwu also became excited: "Think about it this way, it's not a big deal! Ahahahaha..."

At this moment, a questioning voice with a hint of chewing sounded from the side of several people: "Doesn't that mean that now that I know these things, the world will become very bad?"

"..."

A huge silence began to brew in the cafeteria.

Nie Chiwu, Erqiao, Iwaya Naofumi and Kazuma slowly turned their heads and looked at the sixth person in the cafeteria who was happily eating a large pile of cat food in front of him.

That person, wearing silver armor, had light yellow hair and a strikingly human expression. He was currently chewing a piece of fire dragon's tail...

And everyone who had just finished watching the maze meal immediately recognized the other party's identity - Laos.

"Woc Laos! When did you come!!!"

Nie Chiwu's eyes widened: "And how did you eat it all! No! Why are you here?!!"

"I don't know. I suddenly arrived in a strange place, and then a cat beastman said some hunters were gathering, and there was rice made from fire dragon tails, so I came." Laos looked innocent. "As soon as I arrived, I heard you guys talking about something related to me..."

“So you’ve been here since the beginning?” Kazuma turned into an abstract painting. “Why don’t you say anything?”

"I told you," Laos gestured upwards. "While you were talking, I said something like, 'So the winged lion isn't a guardian deity! It's a demon! I thought it was a monster!'"

"Captain, he's a new hunter at the gathering." Granny Cat also came out with a few bowls of soup and explained to Nie Chiwu, "We're all hunters, so you two should get along well! Granny will also prepare delicious meals for you."

"It's over, it's over." Nie Chiwu looked at Laos, who already knew everything, and covered his face: "Demon... What should I do now?"

Chapter 67: The butterfly effect is that the butterfly's wings will suddenly release a wave punch, bastard!

"Mr. Grand Commander."

Tanjiro looked at everyone with worried expressions and couldn't help but ask, "Will things get really bad if Mr. Laos finds out about this?"

Tanjiro knew that he had little knowledge, so he directly asked questions that he didn't understand, wanting to know how Nie Chiwu would explain.

"It's because we don't know that it's troublesome."

Nie Chiwu scratched his hair. "To put it simply, it's like a butterfly flapping its wings in the westernmost part of the land, and then after a while, in the easternmost part of the land..."

“Oh! I’ve heard of this,” Kazuma nodded. “It’s called the butterfly effect, right? A butterfly flapping its wings can trigger a tornado somewhere else…”

Before Kazuma could finish his words, Nie Chiwu rubbed his temple and continued, "In the easternmost part of the land, another butterfly will transform into a two-meter-tall, muscular magical girl and deliver a fatal Dragon Fist to the alien."

"?" Naofumi Iwatani and Kazuma, two educated people who had heard of the butterfly effect, each asked a question mark.

But Nie Chiwu continued: "But this is the situation now!"

Nie Chiwu pounded the table in front of him in grief. "We clearly just received a commission and gathered for a meeting... Who could have imagined that Laos would become a Hunter?! This messes up the entire plot!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Qiao Qiao was a little curious. "Even if Laos knew his future, what was going to happen would still happen, just like when we dealt with Muzan. Maybe we could even save more people."

"That's the problem!"

Nie Chiwu pointed at Er Qiao and said, "As you know, Kaz's eventual launch into space was a miraculous coincidence. If you were to truly face the perfected Kaz now, you would be in a different world."

"You now know that you can fly a plane into a volcano and then let the ripples from Kaz explode the volcano, causing Kaz to be ejected into space. But are you really sure that this will develop in the way you know?"

Nie Chiwu's words made Er Qiao stunned for a moment, and she also understood what was bothering Nie Chiwu.

"I understand part of it."

Laos, however, had a mouthful of juicy, greasy dragon tail meat. He chewed it a few times before swallowing it. Then, holding his fork, he spoke to the big screen, "The devil seems to be able to understand my desires. If I were to become the Lord of the Labyrinth, knowing all this, the devil wouldn't act the way he would have."

"Even someone as smart as Malusil could be deceived by the devil. I probably won't be able to fulfill my original desire to eat the devil, right?" Laos briefly analyzed the current situation.

"!" Kazuma was a little shocked: "So Laos, you can think!"

After Kazuma had just taken a quick look at the contents of the maze meal, his impression of Laos was that this person was particularly anthropomorphic.

"What are you talking about? This is the Evil Food King Laos." Nie Chiwu said: "However, now that things have developed to this point, we can only accept it..."

"Well, officially welcome to our [Gathering], Laos." Nie Chiwu gave Laos a thumbs-up. "Let's get to know each other. I think you'll be interested in this world, and the different characteristics of everyone's world."

Nie Chiwu briefly introduced himself, Tanjiro, and Jotaro, the three people in the world who did not have an ecosystem similar to that of monsters.

Later, when introducing Naofumi Iwaya and Kazuma, Nie Chiwu was interested.

"There are many special monsters in Naofumi Iwaya's world, and he also has a companion who is a Filo bird transformed into a human form." Nie Chiwu introduced this, and then introduced the most important one, Kazuma.

"This Kazuma is a heavyweight!"

Nie Chiwu said excitedly, "Kazuma has easily accomplished something that none of us could do! Not only did he seduce a hermaphrodite, but he also has a harem of an entire species of orcs! It's truly thrilling! It's truly admirable!"

“I don’t have that kind of harem!!! I’m serious about that succubus, you bastard!!!” Kazuma cursed and yelled, “Don’t make up other people’s life experiences, you bastard! Those things haven’t even happened yet!!”

"Oh! So what are hunters? It seems like you guys are from another world just like me..." Laos kept talking: "Also, am I eating dragon meat now? This is the second time I've eaten dragon meat! But the taste doesn't seem to be the same..."

Laos savored the fire dragon's tail meat in his mouth carefully. "Is it because it's tail meat? Or is it because of the different types of dragons?"

"You've asked the right person!"

Nie Chiwu directly controlled the projector, and after searching for a while, he projected the Fire Dragon that Laos had eaten and the Monster Hunter's Fire Dragon onto the big screen.

"This is the Fire Dragon you ate, Laos. As for this one, it's the Fire Dragon of this world."

Nie Chiwu displayed several pictures of fire dragons. "As for this world, it's the world of dragons. It's full of all kinds of dragons, some powerful, some weak... and us hunters are..."

Nie Chiwu briefly introduced the world of Monster Hunter, the existence of the hunter that Laos had become, and the changes that occurred in the hunters' bodies after arriving at this gathering...
